Het guys. I love my note 3. The speed is incredible as is the screen, etc.

My main gripes is that the note 3 is a bit hard to navigate 1 handed. Its a extreme stretch with your thumb.

The note 3 is also extremely boxy and flat with sharper edges.

I havent held a G2 yet but it looks much more comfortable to hold.

Another draw to the g2 over the n3 is im on verizon. It does not look good for a full bootloader unlock on the n3 right now. Where the g2 is wide open.

Whay do you guys think?

The spen is great but I dont use it much after the novelty wore off.my 5 yr old likes to doodle. But we already have a note 10.1 2014 for that.

Support wise for Lg. I hear many bad things. However this does not seem the case as I also have a lg g3 google tv and when I called support they where great.

Updates we wont know for a while. But on the lg google tv they were the first for upates. It seems like they are really stepping up thier game as of late.

Plus on the g2 we should see custom roms on kitkat etc where again on the vzw note 3 we only have root and early safestrap biuldsbuilds.
[G2 General] player911:
I played with the Note 3 and G2 a lot at the store. I was leaning for the Note 3 but it was just to big to use one handed.

I got the G2 instead and after really using it, I'm glad I did. The stock LG rom feels like it's based off some AOKP build cause it just has a ton of features. Also the Note 3 doesn't have any dev yet, still locked. I heard updates get delayed cause SPen, and on custom roms the pen loses its flair.

I going to wait for tue white vzw version comes out then play qith both side by side.

Anyone know if the watchon app will work on the g2? The quick remote dosent seem to be as good woth the channel guide built in etc
[G2 General] SupaSwag:
Doubt it since I think watchon is specifically designed for the TW framework. If you want to do some G2 vs Note 3 reading then check out this long thread.
[G2 General] bL33d:
went from a note 2 to a g2 and really like this phone. i liked my note 2 also but it was a 2 handed device. i never used the s pen on my note 2.
[G2 General] Sevael:
I used the Note 3 for a month. Great phone, but it's a little too big. Especially in the pocket; I feel like I'm going to break it when sitting down or bending over. It's a pain using it one-handed too, due to the shape and weight. As cool as the Note 3 is, I missed the size of the Galaxy S4.

I was ready to find someone to swap a Galaxy S4 for my Note 3 when I read about the G2. Checked out a bunch of reviews and lots of YouTube videos and was sold on the G2.

A friend was doing an upgrade and wanted the Note 3, so I told her to save a hundred bucks and get the G2 and I'd swap her my Note 3 outright. I've had the G2 for several days now and I am very happy that we swapped. This phone suits me better. It just feels so good in the hand and the interface is very nice and snappy. Very pleased!
[G2 General] fatboypup:

I was comparing the white version to the blacks. It looked smaller even though it isn't.

sold my Galaxy S4 (octa version) with a loss and now very very satisfied with my black lg g2 32gb D802 int'l version
[G2 General] lastdeadmouse:
Not exactly the same, but I went from an og note to the g2 just because with a note sized phone I couldn't justify buying my n7.
[G2 General] black05x5:
Funny, I'm thinking of doing the opposite. I really like my G2 but miss having the external memory card. I put a lot of videos and music on my phone. I have a Verizon G2 if someone is interested in a possible swap.
[G2 General] garywojdan81:
What about an otg drive
[G2 General] evolishesh:
I for one have the note 2 and I'm happy with it, but I want to try something new. That's why I'm getting the Lg g2 on verizon by the end of the week.. I Just hope that development doesn't slow down...
[G2 General] black05x5:
I ordered a Meenova external drive for now. But I would prefer an external memory card. We'll see. If someone wants to swap I'd do it. If not I'll keep my G2 as it's a great phone. Mine is rooted running Clean rom and I use the Incipio Feather case. If LG had built this phone with a memory card slot it would be the perfect device.
[G2 General] SKyRocKeting727:
I chose the G2 because Note 3 speaker was so horrible...it was a deal breaker for me. I came from a HTC One. However, I do miss having a removable battery and a memory card slot. I had the original S2, Skyrocket and Galaxy Note maybe I might jump back to a Samsung in the near future if no other manufacturers have those options that I miss. I'd have to admit though, the G2 really surprised me! IMO, it should be considered top smartphone of the year.

[G2 General] hkpatel08:
I switched from the note 3 to the g2 and I think it was a good move. The g2 in my opinion has better battery life and the size is perfect. Note 3 was a little too big. G2 is just as speedy and with 32gb I don't need the SD card slot. I was also getting sick of touchwiz since I had the note 2 and the s4, its a good change with the g2.

Knock on is genius and with the audio mod it's much better for music, storage is a problem but manageable and battery is very similar. I really don;t like the shiny back so looking to get a skin to add some grip but otherwise don't regret the switch
[G2 General] mpovolo:
I just finished with my decision tonight. Had the Note 3 for three weeks and thought it was great, it was a tough decision. I ended up changing to the G2 tonight, here's why:

-Note 3 has OS 4.3 which gives Photo+ with awesome movie creation, too bad I couldn't actually get it to save a movie. I am convinced its a bug in the OS, who knows how long before they fix it

-I could rarely get a picture I liked, motion blur was a real big issue for me. Could be I'm just a bad photographer, I rely on the auto modes

-G2 knock on feature is awesome, can't live without it

-G2 has just some cool features I really liked, popup SMS and calls. I know you can add apps to do the same but it's built in.

-G2 has a notepad, not as nice as the s-pen notepad but good enough for short scribbles that actually work with a finger

G2 just had more of what was important to me.

Greetings, I'm new to this community, I hope you can help me and also to provide assistance. :)

After trying some custom roms, wifi disconnects on sleep, even if the option in wifi advanced options "keep wifi on during sleep" was "always", I tried flash official roms (V20A and V30B), repartitioning, no mods or user data, only connected to the wifi network, and the problem persists. :confused:

I hope some can answer my question, and if it had been submitted that fails to serve any future problem in the community.

Sorry if already posted had this problem.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eliranu:
Hey

When I connect my N5 to the charger it becomes slower

And when it's not charging everything is OK

Anybody with the same problem?..
[General Questions and Answers] antwan*:
First of, I don't mean to start any fanboy arguments or a flame war. I want this is be an objective discussion.

After selling my Galaxy Note 10.1 (the new one was announced and I figured I'd sell mine before it dropped in value), I found myself missing the convenience of owning a tablet. So I decided I would get myself a Nexus 7 or an Asus Transformer.

My needs involve doing research, reading PDFs and ebooks, and web browsing.

However, I recently discovered the Dell Venue 8 Pro (299) and the Asus TF100 (399) which includes a keyboard dock at no extra cost.

$300 for full blown windows (x86, not RT) compared to similar if not higher prices for Android tablets? The Dell weighs only 3 ounces more than the Nexus 7. So this isn't a bulky Surface like tablet. This is fully portable and functional Windows x86 on tablets similar in weight and size to that of Android devices.

I really would love to own a Nexus 7 but money is limited and I don't think owning 2 tablets is practical. As much as I would like one, I cannot justify the purchase.

For as long as I can remember, mobile systems (iOS, Android) have been trying to emulate the functionality of desktop computers. Now it seems fruitless.

I've purchase apps for Android that allow for some productivity (OfficeSuite, ezPDF, remote desktop, etc) but let's be real, multitasking on Android is nowhere near that of a desktop, even with floating apps.

I can't open things independent of the launching app. Say I'm in file explorer and open a PDF, then switch to something else, now I want to go back to the PDF...I have to switch to the file explorer because that's where it's instanced. That's a hassle. I can't launch multiple things from file explorer either. Why can't the file explorer launch my PDF app and have it load the PDF independent of the file explorer, instead of opening it via the PDF app but in some form of instance.

It's predicted that Intel based tablets will be cheaper and in more abundance next year, how does 1 justify an iOS or Android tablet? Perhaps as a couch based consumption device? Or a travel consumption device? The Dell I mentioned has 8-10 estimated battery life so personally I still don't see it.

I would love to hear the opinions of others on this. Please share your thoughts.

Edit: One last thought.

I think the new and upcoming atom windows tablets look promising except for the fact that the current ones are using eMMC as storage rather than SSD. The new atom chips support sata 2 but I'm not sure how an ssd would affect price or other factors. Maybe next year we'll see some.

Anyway, my concern is how effective can eMMC be on a desktop? What's the expected lifespan? It might work great for mobile OS's but I'm weary about its performance on Windows.
[General Questions and Answers] iamwrong:
windows?no. windows are good at pc but worse at tablet than android and ioa
[General Questions and Answers] antwan*:
Care to elaborate?

Metro UI is very functional on a tablet and handles multitasking well. If you're referring to legacy x86 programs, well that may be a point of contention, but having the option for said programs is better than not having them at all. The digitizer on the Venue Pro 8 is also very functional and makes using legacy apps much easier on the smaller form factor.
[General Questions and Answers] gary93:
I've ordered a dell venue 8, which is the android one and here's why. I have a HP touchpad that is running android OK but crash once in a while. I like the 8 inch size when I tried out the note 8.0 in store, but that's way overpriced. Second, 8 inch is too small for a full windows in my opinion. I use app to stream and control my windows 8.1 laptop on the 9.7 inch touch pad and I still not comfortable with it. Last, it's a no brainer to buy a windows tablet when I have an i7 on my actual laptop that cause me $699 3 years ago.
[General Questions and Answers] Mury982314:
android because the interface is more friendly
[General Questions and Answers] damionmiller76:
The windows tablet would seem to be a good choice if you use it for work and it's supposed to be a seemless transition from tablet to laptop of computer of the same os. I don't really care for the new windows 8 UI and still stick with the traditional Windows UI when using my laptop, though it has both on it. I am a big android person due to rooting and mobile phones and so on. I would be interested in knowing how your experience is switching from one to the other. I believe the side to side windows UI is supposed to compete with android and ios.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o2manyfish:
Hey Folks,

For many years I have been using my Android phones connected to my Exchange account so that I can send and receive text messages from Outlook.

I was previously using an S3 without any problems for the past 18 months.

Yesterday the S3 went into the fish tank.

I picked up an S4 active. I added the exchange account using the Exchange account connector. I received a notice in my outlook that the phone was connected.

One text message arrived. Then the phone failed and stopped making and receiving calls. And the text messages stopped showing up in Outlook.

I exchanged the phone last night for another S4 active.

I connected it again to exchange, got the message in outlook that the phone was connected. I am able to send text messages but they don't appear in outlook.

Also if I add things to my calendar in outlook, or on the phone it used to synch within minutes. Now the appointments don't synch until I manually synch.

I checked my exchange server, and it shows the phone is connected.

I removed and readded the account several times without any different results.

I have checked numerous times, and the SYNC SMS is checked and SYNC calendar is checked.

Data is turned on

I contacted Samsung support which was a joke, and they said do a factory reset and start all over again.

Anyone have any insight that might resolve this problem?

Thanks,

Dave
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
I've been using Outlook Connector without issue for several years. I've never had text messages show up in Outlook. I don't even think Outlook supports texting. I do eventually see text messages in my Combined Inbox on the phone, but that just started with my S4A and I find it to be annoying. I prefer my text messages stay in my text messaging app and my e-mails stay in my e-mail Inbox. I'm constantly having to delete the texts from my Inbox because if I don't I end up getting a second notification for the same message I already read when it came into my text app. I'm pretty sure that Outlook Connector does not download text messages to Outlook, though.

Photojojo lens attachments work with the Nexus 5. apparently, the ring around the Nexus 5 camera lens is a magnet and the lens attachments are a perfect fit.

go to the link below for a vid of the attachment and some pics:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1q6jv7/nexus_5_camera_has_magnet_ring_builtin_for_addon/

i still want Google to fix the camera software (auto focus and shutter speeds, camera app itself, etc), but i'm starting to wonder when Vic Gundotra stated months ago that the Nexus device will have an "insanely great camera"...maybe he was alluding to lens attachments for the Nexus 5?

it kinda makes sense...especially if Google purposely designed the Nexus 5 with a magnetic ring specifically for lens attachments. it's possible they may release their own lens attachments through the Play store.

go here for Photojojo lens attachments.

didn't see a thread posted here about this, but please delete if this is a duplicate.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Samcobra:
The lens isn't the thing that moves in OIS, it's the sensor. That's what allows for the images to stay stable even when there's movement. So, it shouldn't matter.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Vondis:
Just got my 3 lenses from Photojojo in the mail for my Nexus 5 and the magnets do not work. The magnet in the phone pushes the lense away. So the polarities are wrong on these lenses. Also the metal rings that come with them are crap. They fall off very quickly. Unfortunately I will have to return these lenses. I was looking forward to using them
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mkeditor:
I just received the marco and fish-eye lenses. The macro works but the fish-eye is the wrong polarity. I called Photojojo and was told the polarity is random and that they can't test to make sure they send a Nexus 5 friendly lens. This is very unfortunate. The macro is just ok. The fish-eye would have been cool. I'm returning both.

1) When showing the 'image' before recording it is full screen, but when you record and play it it is very small, how can i keep the size?

2) When i connected the Exec to my laptop and sent my .avi video to view it on my laptop, it only had the sound, no video, any ideas why?

Thanks you

With regards to point two, you are most likely lacking the video codec that the Universal uses for recording video on your PC.

If you install the latest version of QuickTime, you should see the video on your laptop. The format is mp4.

Alternatively, if you don't want to install QT (and many don't), you could try VLC media player [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/] as this normally plays everything out there.

HTH, let me know.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boldred:
I rooted my NookColor 1.4.2. and I installed the dualboot cm7/cm9 to make it a tripleboot. The cm9 has been broken since I installed it - no audio and S L O W. I've uninstalled-re-installed several times, with no improvement. On cm9 in apps, I have ROM Manager 5530. Can I use this to replace ONLY the cm9 with cm1.3 by using "install ROM from SD Card" and STILL triple boot into the root, cm7 AND the updated cm1.3? If so, are there any special steps to take -- such as placing the stable encore cm1.3 zip in different locations or other steps?

Thank you!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudesi:
I looked EVERYWHERE for a solution to this problem and finally figured it out on my own, so I thought I'd share and hopefully have this thread show up on a Google search for everyone else who has been pulling their hair out. Every other so called "solution" (fixing the time, clearing the cache, reverting back to the old Android Market, etc) has NOT worked at least for my phone, which is the HTC Desire Z, (AKA HTC Vision) with Android 2.2 (Froyo) installed.

I'm talking about getting a "No Connection" error when attempting to download an app from the play store. This error happened ever since they updated from version 3.9.17 to 3.10.9 and beyond. Uninstalling the updates for play store reverts you back to the old Android Market, which works, but which is, quite simply, unacceptable. The problem is when you download and reinstall play store 3.9.17, (or any other for that matter), after a couple of minutes it automatically updates to the newest play store version, which just brings us back to square one! So the solution here is to trick the phone into NOT auto updating the play store app.

Sorry, non rooted users, but you need root for this. You also need to have terminal emulator and a root file explorer such as ES File Explorer. (Of course, in order to download these things from Google Play, you'll have to uninstall the updates to Google Play via the app manager and use the old Android Market).

1) Download Google Play Store version 3.9.17

androidpolice.com/2012/11/02/download-latest-google-play-store-3-9-17/

If you want to try installing later versions just to see if a later version might work for your particular phone, here's a list:

androidpolice.com/tags/series_google_play_store_download/

Put whichever version you downloaded into your phone somewhere, I put it on the SD card.

2) Uninstall all the updates to your current Google Play via the app manager if you haven't done so already.

3) In ES File explorer, go into /data/app

4) Create a new file called "com.android.vending-2.apk"

5) In Terminal emulator, type su and hit enter to get superuser permission.

6) Type "cd /data/app" and hit enter.

7) Type "chattr +i com.android.vending-2.apk" and hit enter.

8) Go back to ES File explorer and browse to the Google Play apk that you downloaded. Click it and install it.

That's it! You should now have an older version of Google Play installed that does NOT automatically update. Like I said, for my phone, the newest version that works is 3.9.17.
